Long Island wheel alignment place that doesn't blow?
 
Well for the 1st time ever I brought my car to have someone else other then myself give it an alignment. It was less then a stellar experience.
K&K in Rockville Centre, NY(they are an "alignment shop"

1st time I went, i left and the alignment blew pulled like crazy

2nd I went back they re aligned it, and I had them put new tires on since the tires got torn up.

3rd I went back and got my $ back. Not only did they align the car with tire pressures varying from 29-38 psi (they put the new tires on and then did the alignment) but they also left my tie rods loose. I found this out when I got the time to drive 55miles away to a college I was attending part time. My stay there is over and since I attend a different college I can't use the machine (insurance reasons)

- Sum it up. who has an alignment place that is capable of getting tow/camber alignment to your specs on Long Island hopefully under $200

My friend who tracks his 944 turbo uses them and my other friends with coilovers had them corner balance and align their wrx's. They all trust them and their cars are setup very well. I believe the cost of a custom alignment is around $250(could be less) and basic cornerbalancing with alignment starts at $500 from what I can remember. A lot of LI shops suck with alignments and if your not there staring at your car while they work on it...lets just say half of them don't even crack the tie rod nuts loose to adjust(I know this cuz I marked them with paint and the excuses are priceless). Best thing to do is look up their reviews if your still weary.

CamberToe too far for you?

Any luck with the two mentioned above?

I emailed them both for some suspension work.
Neither one responded.

TKX is good. if you ever go there, all you see are BMW M race cars and porsches.

Hey guys,

Just got back from CamberToe for an alignment. Excellent service and advise. They take the time to go over how you will be using car and align accordingly.

Ryan and the guys really hooked me up.
